What a Panic Proof Retirement™ plan is
It's a written document, not a pitch. It starts with the income you need each month, then works backward: which accounts pay for it, in what order, at what tax cost, and what happens if the market has a bad year early. Every recommendation is optional. You implement what you agree with.
The two sides
Growth. Managed portfolios in the stock market for the money you won't need for years. Diversified, tax-aware, reviewed annually, with fees shown in dollars.
Protection. Fixed index annuities and guaranteed lifetime income for the money you'll spend in the next five to ten years, so one bad year never changes your lifestyle. Our IncomeMAX™ strategy adds long-term-care doublers and annual resets.
What the plan covers
- Income: how much, from where, and for how long
- Social Security timing for both spouses
- Taxes: Roth conversions, RMDs, withdrawal order, Medicare surcharges
- Fees: what you're paying today, in dollars
- Risk: which money is protected and which stays invested
- Health care, long-term care and legacy
